What is 7.2 percent of 7016 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 7016 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 7016 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7016=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7016=100%
2) x=7.2%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
7016/x=100%/7.2%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 7.2% of 7016

7016/x=100/7.2
(7016/x)*x=(100/7.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7016=13.888888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.888888888889) to get x
7016/13.888888888889=x
505.152=x
x=505.152

now we have:
7.2% of 7016=505.152
